blood bank
The Rotary-TTK Blood Bank collects
blood from voluntary donors and issues it to patients across Karnataka
as well as in neighbouring states after meticulous screening for
syphilis, malaria, hepatitis B & C and HIV I & II.
To make sure that all collected
blood is completely free of any Transfusion Transmissible Infection
(TTI), the most stringent Quality Control systems are followed.
All raw materials such as reagents and test kits, and on all blood
components prepared at the blood bank undergo regular Quality
Checks.
The blood bank
focuses on blood component therapy
for optimum use of
blood. It also offers pre-transfusion, blood grouping and
compatibility tests, and the laboratory is equipped with the latest
technology to carry out cross matching analysis. Documentation
is computerised and the blood bank has a dedicated software for it
Committed to setting up systems
which ensure that everybody has access to safe blood, BMST provides
technical know-how and support to other organisations as well
for instituting blood banking and transfusion services. It's training
programmes include correct techniques and procedures for screening,
collection, transfusion, and Quality Assurance. It also offers
advisory services to doctors and clinicians on clinical use of
blood and safe transfusion practices.
We thank the hospitals that refer their patients blood needs to us.
This testimony to our high quality blood testing and screening, and the demand for blood from
the Rotaryt TTk Blood Bank has led us to establish our Satellite blood Storage Centers at 10 hospitals
so far. Many more hospitals want us to extend this facility to them and we need the help of
voluntary blood donors to make this possible.
